John Doulton and John Watts set up Doulton & Watts in Lambeth, South
London, in 1815 producing saltglazed stoneware. Another Doulton, John's
brother Henry, produced drainpipes. When John Watts retired in 1853, John
and Henry Doulton joined forces and became Doulton & Co.

The production of art pottery started around the end of the 1860s and
grew considerably during the next two decades. In 1878 the company bought
an existing pottery works in Nile Street, Burslem, Staffordshire, to make
pots for decoration at the Lambeth works. In 1901 they became Royal Doulton
Ltd.

During the first half of the twentieth century production of saltglazed
stoneware diminished and finally ceased in 1956 when the Lambeth works was
closed and all production was moved to Burslem.
